G#9                            A#
I didn't know that you'd be a-leavin'
G#9                              A#
Who you thought you were talkin' to
G#9                      A#
I figure you maybe we're even
    G#9                 A#
Or maybe I'm one up on you.

D#                 A#
I sent you all my money
D#                 A#
Just like I did before
D#                  G#
I try to reach you honey
                                  A#
But you're driftin' too far from shore.

Chorus:
A#
Driftin' too far from shore
Driftin' too far from shore
Driftin' too far from shore
Driftin' too far from shore.

I ain't gonna get lost in this current
I don't like playin' cat an' mouse
No gentleman likes makin' love to a servant
Especially when he's in his father's house.

I never could guess your weight baby
Never needed to call you my whore
I always thought you were straight baby
But you're driftin' too far from shore.

Chorus:
Well driftin' too far from shore
Driftin' too far from shore
Driftin' too far from shore
Driftin' too far from shore.

Well these times an' these tunnels are haunted
The bottom of the barrel is too
I waited years sometimes, for what I wanted
Everybody can't be as lucky as you.

Never no more do I wonder
Why you don't never play with me any more
An' any moment you can go under
Cause you're driftin' too far from shore.

Chorus:
Yeah driftin' too far from shore
Driftin' too far from shore
Driftin' too far from shore
Driftin' too far from shore.

You an' me we had completeness
I'd give you all of what I could provide
We weren't on the wrong side, sweetness,
We were the wrong side.

I've already ripped out the phones, honey
You can't walk the streets in a war
I can finish this alone honey
You're driftin' too far from shore.
